Specifications

Provider-documented facts. “Not collected” means we have not verified that field yet, not that the feature is unsupported.

Context / input limit
262,144 tokensSource for Context / input limit (opens in a new tab)

Published model-list example gives 262,144. An integration example separately uses 256000; no authenticated metadata request was made.

Reasoning
SupportedSource for Reasoning (opens in a new tab)

Reasoning and visible output share the completion allowance.

Tool calling
SupportedSource for Tool calling (opens in a new tab)

Supports forced and parallel function tool calls; the application executes the tools.

Structured output
SupportedSource for Structured output (opens in a new tab)

JSON-object mode only. The Responses compatibility table explicitly excludes json_schema for this model.

Streaming
SupportedSource for Streaming (opens in a new tab)

SSE streaming from a complete request.

Context caching
Not collected

A cached-token counter in examples does not establish active caching, cache TTL, eligibility or discounts.

Published price
Free during the Token Plan public previewSource for Published price (opens in a new tab)

Limited-time quota allowance, not a permanent zero-priced pay-as-you-go tariff.

Usage metering
60,000 points / rolling 5 hours and 600,000 / rolling week in each eligible point poolSource for Usage metering (opens in a new tab)

General and Flash-Lite-specific pools are separate. Points are not tokens or currency. Actual model deductions and permissions are account-specific.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

API model ID
sensenova-6.8-flash-lite
Access
Registered account, identity verification and API key. Limited-time public preview with rolling point quotas.
Regions
Regional deployment and account eligibility must be confirmed with the provider.
API endpoint URL
POST https://token.sensenova.cn/v1/chat/completionsSource for API endpoint URL (opens in a new tab)
Structured output
SupportedSource for Structured output (opens in a new tab)

JSON-object mode, not strict JSON Schema.

Reasoning controls
Reasoning enabled by default; reasoning_effort controls intensity and none disables it.Source for Reasoning controls (opens in a new tab)

Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.

Data & enterprise terms

Retention, training use, regional processing and enterprise terms have not been summarized for this endpoint.

JSON-object mode, not strict JSON Schema.

Reasoning controls

Stored responses
Not supportedSource for Stored responses (opens in a new tab)

Stateless Responses compatibility: no stored responses, previous_response_id, Conversations, background jobs or Webhooks. This does not establish a provider-wide no-retention policy.

Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.

Data & enterprise terms

Retention, training use, regional processing and enterprise terms have not been summarized for this endpoint.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Classification is an inference from the named native commercial service or licensed edge release, its official access documentation, and cross-checking the developer’s public-weight inventory. The named service weights were not published in the reviewed inventory. This does not classify every SenseNova model as closed: public U1, U1.5, Vision, SI, MARS, InteractiveOmni and Piccolo releases are excluded.
